This is great! My friend has been collecting random glass pieces from yard sales for the past few years. She plans to put them all together for the table settings for her wedding. Every table will be different! Y’all are so creative!!!

Can you show or tell what kinda plate and bottom you used to make the plate holder with the cake with candles on it.
That is very pretty, they all are.
I would have never thought about trying that.
I feel like spring is a ways off for us, tonight ( Thurs.) we are waiting on the storm to hit tonight and Fri and Friday night then round 3 starts Tues. It has been awhile since I have seen weather like this here in NC.

Love it! I have made a few of these from thrift store plates and candle holders, gave some away as Christmas gifts. Here is a post that shows 2 of them and how to make your own glass cloche to go on top!

Do you use anything to stick them together (when you’re not permanently adhering them) so they won’t fall over? I just know if I balanced a plate on a candlestick without sticking it somehow, everyone would eat the stuff off of one side and it would be unbalanced and topple! lol

I love, love, love all the beautiful ideas. But I have 2 “balance” questions:
How do you store all the different decorating dishes and items you have found when you are not using them? Do you have a separate shelf space in your basement? The other question is : how do you decide when to say “enough” of something. I find i can get carried away and even “deals” can take too much budget or occupy too much space/clutter. Just curious about how others balance this creative pull with space/time/$ issues. I love the website and the encouragement. You have no idea how much it has helped me – especially in the frugal wardrobe area! thanks for sharing.

These are such great ideas! Our daughter is getting married and her Dad was hurt in a coal mining accident and is unable to return to work so we need all the beautiful things at very cheap prices for her wedding. Please keep posting because I’m loving it all!

Could you please tell what kind of glue you have used , a friend and I have tried many and they stay for awhile, it just dose not last long and as soon as they get wet from washing them (by hand of course) they come unglued… Thank you
